Yes or no: will you remain a registered non-profit organization (401/501-type orgs or similar), or were you ever? It's fine to call your self non-profit but if you don't have to abide by the rules of them then you aren't, period.

I think all of us here are tired of "altruistic" tech companies which are really profit mongers in disguise. The burden is on you all to prove this is not the case (and this doesn't really help your case).

Yes, OpenAI Nonprofit is a 501(c)(3) organization. Its mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. See our Charter for details: https://openai.com/charter/.

The Nonprofit would fail at this mission without raising billions of dollars, which is why we have designed this structure. If we succeed, we believe we'll create orders of magnitude more value than any existing company — in which case all but a fraction is returned to the world.

In other words, you have no downside. Create AGI and you win the game. Don't and you walk away with profit from the ride.
